Before attending GCU and using the sources that they provide, I normally would use resources and tools that were provided by various universities. Two notable examples that I would use where Purdue University's OWL and also Calvin College's KnightCite. OWL is a particularly helpful source since it offers a wide variety of articles regarding various topics that play a key role within successful writing. KnightCite was also a source I widely used because of the fact that it was a great way in order to get MLA (which I used in high school) citations for works used in my papers. However, nowadays I mainly use the sources provided by GCU such as the writing center which I have found to be quite helpful. In particular, I enjoy the templates provided
There are multiple reasons I am where I am today and why I’m going where I’m going. I have struggled in school ever since I can remember but without the people that I have had in my life I wouldn’t where I am today. But as I will talk about the teacher have played a huge role in the reason I am able to be where I am today.
In today's society many religions and many people don't see eye to eye with the LGBTQ community. They see this community as something less significant than others, viewed as something unnatural, and even something different from this world we live in. This community suffers from being threatened for their lives, being scared of being their true self. In what power should people have to make these decision on what people should like; none, because people should be allowed to love whatever gender they please with. People in this community shouldn't have to a live in fear of being judged by others, tormented, or even humiliated because others don't agree with what gender they like. They are just like every human that loves, but many don't see that because of maybe the way they were raised was to only believe in same sex marriage or people just don't like the idea of a sex liking the same sex. People don't see that society is more open than it was back in the days. This community suffers from being othered and are being viewed as monstering walking on the street. There's stereotypes being made about people in this community, there's religions that disown family that are in this community, and people don't see these types of event could lead to self harm, addiction, and could mess a person mind, just because they don't agree with what gender they please with.
As humans, we are created to be in a relationship with God. We are called to love and serve Him. However, because of our sins, we fail to honor God. It is through God’s love for us that he used Jesus Christ to restore our relationship with Him. The doctrine of the person of the Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of our Christian theology. As followers of Christ, it is essential that our understanding of Christ must be the center of our faith.
Process recordings have been very helpful in allowing me to see my strengths and areas that need improvement. It allows for me to check if I am using my competencies correctly and applying all the skills I have been thought. They also allow for feedback from my field supervisor so that I ensure the best services for my clients. I gain a better understanding of what I need to change about my approach and how to develop proper treatment goals with my clients. I get to put the knowledge I gained in all my classes to help a better understanding of the role of a social worker.
There are several resources available to ensure college students that their writings are accurate and efficient. Spell check and Grammar check are the most well known tools for writers. Bethel University has opened my eyes to much better resources that are available to their students such as, Bethel University’s online library, the EBSCO database, the Smartthinking lab, and the “cite” tool in the Bethel University online library. There is also websites that Bethel University has encouraged us to use such as, www.paperrater.com and www. bibme.org (Chambers, 2015).
Last night or so the MAS unit of the 750 stopped working due to some unknown problems and my rotor exploded -- this time we just got rotor dusts ( no sample to recover) -- so the regular 3.2mm HXY is gone. And, their E-free probe was also not working after it came back from Burker -- last week, we tested that probe after Boris returned from his vacation. So, they will send these two probes for repairs and request for a new MAS unit. Mike will not charge the 750 week.
My Plans are to utilize the resources here at UoPeople like the links to University of Berkeley just to mention one. My strategy is to read well the source, two or three times if possible and to keep it separate at the time when writing my own papers this way it would help me to generate my own sentence structure and vocabulary but on ly in the end to cite the sources in my bibliography. One tip that I read
Over the course of the semester, there has been numerous amount of areas where I believe I have improved in comparison to high school. What has helped me in my writing is the writing class and the in-class writing workshop. The writing class that is located in the Kremen education building has helped me with my writing greatly because in the writing center the person in charge teach us lenses and we apply those lenses to the writing, draft, or reading that someone brings in. The in-class writing workshop has helped me because other students get to read my writing. This is helpful because I get feedback from many students and they let me know what needs to be fixed. A new tool I have been using is They Say I Say. The book is very helpful because of the information and examples it provides such as the templates. I have been applying the templates into my essays and I have seen a significant difference.
We all make mistakes. We all do things that we would take back in a HEARTBEAT. We all look back on situations and all we feel is guilt, shame, and wonder what in the world came over us. I can attest to this. Growing up in a Christian home I always knew that God forgave my sins. Heck, He sent his Son down to die on the cross for every single sin that would be made for the rest of time. He forgave me when I said a cursed word. He forgave me when I said something rude to my brothers. And he forgave me when I didn’t clean my room when I had told my mom that I did. These were the “little” things that we all do as kids, but it’s not until we get older and do the “big” things that we begin to really question whether or not we should be forgiven. And the answer to this is no. We shouldn’t be forgiven. But the King of the Universe tells us YES. I just completed my first semester at Kansas State University and have begun to understand what independence and freedom feels like. These are the two things that every kid dreams of. As we near our college years, we cannot wait to hop in our car, drive to our new address, and begin our years of “no rules.” This is great and all, until you realize that freedom and independence are not all sunshine and butterflies. I took my first few weeks of freedom by the reigns and did some things that I would definitely take back in a heartbeat. I’ll admit there are a few instances where I felt, and still feel, guilt and shame and I wonder if God will
In this course, one of the things I learned that stood out to me cognitively that prompted an internal cognitive reaction was bereavement experiences. On the first day of class, I learned that there are different beliefs about what happens after death. For example, some people think that reincarnation happens after death. However, I believe you either go to heaven or hell. I almost second guessed myself when reincarnation was brought up. Second, seeing the video of the mom discussing the story of her daughter committing suicide prompted an internal cognitive reaction in me. I was thinking to myself, how couldn’t anyone prevent this from happening? I wish that she knew what she was experiencing was only temporarily and not permanently. I was angry that she had to endure so much pain and obstacles in her life. Third, hearing the story of Prof. Windsor life and how she still grew to be strong, successful, and leading groups to help others with similar stories to hers. I was motivated to work on being a better social worker.
While I was duel enrolled in my local community college and in high school, I was wrapped up in the day to day aspects of my life because I had a lot of little things going on and hobbies that I enjoyed. My future career and being in a university seemed so distant so I didn't think about it much. It didn't occur to me until my first week in college that I really needed a plan and that my life is moving incredibly fast. It wasn't until then, that I really started to think about what I wanted to do with my life after I got out of college. I now find myself thinking about it every day, calling friends and family and researching different career paths for different majors.
I grew up influenced by strong women. Growing up, I use to watch Disney’s Mulan on repeat. It became a habit that I would belt the songs from the movie from the very tops of my lungs. Bear in mind, I was only in the single digits of age at the time. Being a child, I thought I was a good singer. I know now I wasn’t. Doesn’t matter now. Turns out, I was terrible. I would also watch Atlantis: The Lost Empire and any other female led Disney movie though I could never stomach Sleeping Beauty or Snow White. Even now I have no idea why.
During the summer of 2017 I worked on two different internships or projects. Both of the internships were completely different from the other. in one I work at a computer all day and the other I would spend out in the field working hands on with different equipment. I got to experience both ends of the spectrum of natural resource science. Both internships were helpful in helping me figure out which fields of natural resources that I was interested in, and which I might be interested in pursuing for future study and possible future job fields.
As a 6th grader, everyone was excited about one thing, Junior High. Where the school was bigger and we were moving away from the younger kids. All the while, all I could ever think about was trying to fit in. I never had many friends in the first place and my appearance certainly didn't help my cause. As a 12 year old, I was overweight and referred to a doctor for weight loss, but more commonly my wii fit reminded me daily that it was time to exercise. Something extremely significant was the thick black rimmed glasses that I needed to wear to correct my astigmatism, or maybe it was my front teeth crossing one another that got the most attention. Needless to say I was never one of the popular girls and most everyone wrote me off.
Resolve is the determination to accomplish a task or goal. All of my life I had always had plenty of friends, I lived in the same neighborhood for the majority of my childhood, which was full of children my age. I grew up with my friends, I had known them for such a long time I could not even remember meeting them. When my family moved, due to my father’s promotion, I was excited for a change in scenery, until we got there, I realized everyone I had ever known was gone. On social media I felt excluded, I saw them enjoying themselves, while I rotted at home alone and without a single companion in the strange place had moved to, I was an alien in this new place and it was foreign to me. I was alone, an outsider, but I refused to remain this way I resolved to find people who accepted who would call me a friend.
